Knock in suspension
So i'm gettin this knock in the front passenger side, seems to me that it would be the shock absorber. It only knocks when it seems to me the shock would get compressed, it started out pretty hard to do, then gradually has gotten easier. If i get on my bumper on that side and bounce it pretty good i get that same noise. Would it be wise to order some shocks and just hope thats it? Also I notice when my have the steering wheel to the left just slightly while moving i get a squeaking noise but back to the right at all no sound, ne ideas?

could be your sway bar hitting your coil spring...check that on the passenger side
